NECKWER.

Application led November 24, 1923. Serial No. 676,352.

To all whom t may cof/wem Be it known that WILLIAM H. HART, Jr., deceased, late a citizen of the United States,v residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania. invented a new and useful Improvement in Neckwear, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to neckwear and consists of a form insertable in a bow necktie to impart proper stability to the same andV admit of bending of the tie whereby it may be adjusted in shape to the collar or neck of the wearer, said form being adjustable to the length of the tie whereby the form is applicable to ties of variable lengths.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied.v and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described. as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claims.

Figure l represents an elevation of a neck tie form embodying the invention, including an outline of a bow tie in dotted lines. in which the form is placed and secured.

Figure 2 represents a perspective view of the form.

Figure 3 represents a longitudinal sectionV thereof on line 3-3 Figure 2.

Figures 4 and 6 represent elevations of different embodiments of the invention.

Figure 5 represents a longitudinal section on line 5-5 Figure e.

Figure 7 represents a longitudinal section on line 7 7 Figure 6.

Figure 8 represents a transverse section on line 8--8 Figure 6.

Similar numerals of reference indicate tlf corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings.

l and 2 designate heads opposite to each other, each being connected with the bars 3 on what may be termed the inner side of the head, the bla-rs being adapted to be placed In Figures 4 and 5, the heads are shown as slidably fitted on a single bar and so they may vbe moved nearer to or further from each other.

In Figures 6, 7 and 8, the bars 3 are slidably connected by the double T-piece 5 which is composed of a piece of material bent on itself producing the opposite flanges 6 and the neck 7 which connects thesame, said neck freely entering longitudinally extending slots 8 in the bars 3 and adapted to ente-r similar slots 9 in the heads. it being noticed that the flanges 6 freely embrace the outer sides of the bars 3 and so hold the latter on each other but allowing them to Vslide on each other and so permitting the heads l and 2 to be adjusted to and from each otherV according to the length of a bow.

It is evidentthat the heads are adapted to occupy the wide side portions of the bow tie while the bars occupy the narrow central portion thereof, and so the form adds stability to the. tie, permits the latter to be bent as has been stated,and when the shape of the tie has been established such shape is preserved.

Having thus described the invention of William H. Hart, Jr., deceased, what is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. As a new article of manufacture a bowtie form comprising a pairof spaced heads and means connecting said heads to permit longitudinal, sliding movement of at least one head toward or away from the opposite head.

2. A form of a bow tie composed of heads, and slidable bars carrying thev same whereby the heads of the latter may be moved to and from each other, and the form thus ad-Y j usted relatively to bows of different lengths.
